That's a wrap for the 2024 "Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Sciences" workshop! Thanks to our instructors, @alan_garfinkel and @EricJDeeds, as well as all the participants who brought lively discussion and unique perspectives to the table! #harvardmath #math

Hey folks, we're repeating last year's successful workshop at Harvard in how to teach modeling and dynamics to undergrad life science students with *no* previous calculus. Please join me, @BmathK, @EricJDeeds and Jennifer Czocher (Texas State) in June.

I was fortunate enough to spend a week at Harvard with @alan_garfinkel @BmathK and @EricJDeeds learning about this course! Looking to implement some of these ideas here at CSUSM.

At #2023WCSDB? Say hi to Gunalan Natesan and Ryan Johnson presenting posters tonight! Gunalan studies the structure of cell lineages in collaboration with @EricJDeeds and Ryan studies developmental heterogeneity in wild isolates of C. elegans in collaboration with @ecandersen!

For those who want to know more about what Cormac McCarthy was like, here's some short remembrances about him from those very close to him at SFI, including me. santafe.edu/news-center/news…

“Mr. McCarthy moved to *El Paso, N.M.*”🧐 I point this out only because Cormac himself would find it amusing. One of the funniest, most curious, warmest, and brightest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I’ll miss him dearly: nytimes.com/2023/06/13/books…

Glad our paper is finally out. Thanks to the BrooksGroup gang! Look for the pyCHARMM MSLD workshop coming in late July. pyCHARMM: Embedding CHARMM Functionality in a Python Framework | Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Kids are asleep, so let’s dig in! Molecular and imaging techniques for lineage tracing get better every day, but whoa you get a lot of data! How do you squeeze piles of trees and measurements into a nugget of biological insight? We came up with some ideas! 1/

It's up! This is an awesome collab with the one and only @EricJDeeds and led by MS student Gunalan Natesan. We describe a new metric for comparing measurements aligned to cell lineages and use it to learn a bunch of new things about cell cycles in the lineage. Tweetorial to come!

What does it take to break through in academia? Join a group with a shared purpose. As co-director of the @ucla_iracda program with Mike Carey @UCLA we are helping to launch the career of postdoctoral fellows. Providing a structured mentoring program has proved to be effective.

Congratulations to Professor Amy Rowat for receiving a $662k grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) for her project titled, “NUDT5 as a Novel Target for Ovarian Cancer.” We are excited to see what amazing research comes out of this project!
